Canadian Nuclear: Interactive Outreach Initiative

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission has a mandate to educate the Canadian and public on what Nuclear really means in society - applications, history, benefits and risks. CNSC Online was a nascent concept that we implemented as a series of modules that combine 3D animation, 2D illustration, interactive content, simulations, and games. Complex concepts were reinterpreted and distilled into core ideas reinforced by interactivity and made available on desktop and mobile.

Put it in the green bin:city of Ottawa integrated campaign

This was a great project and had an impact where it counted: school age kids wanting to learn more about the new recycling programs in Canada's Capital. I was the Flash developer.

65 Years of Nuclear in Canada

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission's 65th Anniversary project organized key events, historical documents and archives with the goal of providing access to the public in a visually compelling way. The final product is a central SQL database referencing over 1000 events, 6000 documents and 900 photos, with a front-end for kiosks and installation touch screens, and a W3C/WCAG compliant accessible HTML5 front end to Government of Canada specifications. Timeline events are presented as an animated, interactive wall of event tiles that can be customized by keywords and topics.

Airforce Mission Game

Canada's Air Force Conducts humanitarian missions to crisis zones throughout the world. I created a simulation to allow all ages to plan and execute a disaster relief mission. The simulation used real mission data to allow the player to assemble and plan every part of the mission while keeping complex subjects intuitive and accessible. Curriculum components including physics, geography, energy, social studies were all integrated. Training videos were also produced for teachers. The system is now deployed to web sites, USB promotion keys, and touch screens.

100 Years of Canadian Aviation

As part of the Centennial of Canadian Flight, A multi-platform, multi-client, and of course multi-media interactive was commissioned to bring together events, people, technology, organizations, and events. The app that was developed was cross platform for installation touchscreens at museums as well as web deployment. A webservice backend allowed easy update to content as it became available throughout the lifespan of the promotion.

Bookham Touchscreen Virtual Optics Lab

International tradeshows for high tech companies are a necessity, but hauling around 6-figures of demo equipment can be a showstopper if a single cable is forgotten. The solution was to make all the interactive lab components virtual using a touchscreen lab to simulate all the products and their performance. Lab video and data was captured and incorporated into an intuitive interface. The system was deployed in Europe and the US on touchscreen, plasma, and as a regularly updated CD-based sales tools.

Brightwell Microflow Technology

Start-ups have the best ideas and attract the most motivated, bright people you might ever meet. Brightwell needed to punch above its weight with its marketing collateral while assuring technical clients from many disciplines that their new technology was truly a step up from the competition. The interactive that was created combined a high-level overview of technologies with an interactive "try it for yourself" interface, while providing enough abstraction to future proof against the inevitable changes in the product's software and hardware design.

team

Our team grew to include experts from many areas of Nuclear and the core team included 3D design, HTML5 coders, writers, researchers.

result

All version launched on time and are currently installed at many nuclear-related sites across canada as touch screens, and tour as part of trade shows. The web and mobile content continue to grow based on the frameworks developed.

my role

team

I had a great client at Air Force and a very talented team at gordon group marketing and communications. I managed an interdisciplinary group of four to provide content in-feeds as the simulation came together. Great timing and communication were key!

result

The humanitarian simulation was a success with teachers, kids, and adults. The bilingual launch was on time and on budget, and the sim is now being deployed for other platforms including touchscreens and USB keys. And yes, it works on Android!

my role

team

Bringing together so many people and resources was a team effort, with lots of time on the phone, museums field trips, photography, and production companies coordination. It was great fun. Client management by the great people at gordon group marketing and communications.

result

With the content rolling in, the project was deployed on schedule. It is currently in the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum touchscreen interactive rotation.

my role

team

Working with high tech clients means learning their technical language. The engineers, sales and marketing teams were a breeze to get along with, and the hardware installation at tradeshows ended up being a piece of cake because of some solid planning.

result

The product was updated regularly for international use and deployed to multiple platforms, including, touch, autoplay, CD, USB.

my role

team

The team consisted of me and the client marketing and engineering leads. We collaborated in tailoring a clear message that addressed a wide range of technical disciplines.

result

Delivered on time and with a focused budget, the product was featured online, at tradeshows, and as a computer-based sales tool.
